Candidate Prep Academy
A CPA Exam prep series built for where you are and where you’re headed.
The CPA Exam is one of the most significant milestones on your path to licensure. Candidate Prep Academy is here to make sure you don’t have to tackle it alone. This virtual series pairs focused, expert-led Exam prep with Mock Exam practice. You’ll have structure, strategies, and support to move confidently through each section.
Whether you’re sitting for your first section, working through the remaining ones, or returning to the Exam with a fresh start, Candidate Prep Academy meets you where you are.
What to Expect
We’ll start with a one-hour orientation session to set you up before you begin studying. This session covers the CPA Exam application process, additional pathways, eligibility requirements, and how to plan your approach.
Each month this summer, the series pairs a 90 minute Exam Focus Session with a virtual Mock Exam, one section at a time. Focus Sessions are led by content expert Joe Maslott, CPA, AICPA Director of Content Management for Examinations, alongside a panel of CPA professionals.
Mock Exams let you apply what you have learned in a realistic, low stakes setting before test day.
You can attend the full series or choose the sections that fit your schedule.
